Society Continues to Stand Out

Society Cleaners, an award-winning dry cleaner in Coral Gables, serves the City Beautiful as well as Brickell, Pinecrest, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne. One feature our client base gladly notices when comparing us to the competition is our ample free parking: no city restrictions, no parking meters, no adjacent businesses competing for sidewalk parking, no concern for parking tickets. The handicapped, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, have a special space and direct access to our premises.

We at Society have English-speaking personnel ready to answer questions about your fabric care inquiries or to consult with our professional operators.   

 

 Society Cleaners Makes ‘Miami Favorites’ Again

Capping a year of awards and recognitions, The Miami Herald announced today that Society Cleaners was voted a “Miami-Dade Favorite” in the dry-cleaning category. This award is significant to a company that for over five decades has been providing reliable fabric care and excellence in customer service. A South Florida client base has remained loyal to our legacy of excellence in handling couture gowns, formalwear, bespoke shirts, suits and business attire. The name “Society Cleaners” is immediately associated with friendly service and high standards in the distinctive pink Art Deco building.

It is important for us to thank those who voted and our loyal friends and customers who make doing business a true pleasure.

Society Cleaners "Best of the Gables" and "Best Loved on Yelp"

 

Society Cleaners Recognized with Two Awards

In its almost 55 years under the same family management, Society Cleaners has received numerous awards for its commitment to excellence in the care of fine garments and its customer service. In addition to a feature in The Miami Herald (Spanish), WPLG (Channel 10), the Key to the City of Coral Gables and a Dade County Proclamation, this week Society can proudly announce two other recognitions that honor its tradition: “Coral Gables Best 2024” and  “2024 Best of Yelp ‘People Love us on Yelp.’”

 Mr. Jeremy Hopperman, CEO of Yelp wrote “we are proud to recognize Society Cleaners as one of the highest-rated and best-reviewed businesses on Yelp. There are over 6 million active claimed business pages on our platform and over 287 million cumulative reviews, so to have such high ratings and positive reviews is no small feat.”

In view of these acknowledgments, we have to thank our loyal clientele that encourages us to maintain the high standards that have warranted these awards. Business suits, shirts (hand-finished), women’s professional attire or couture gowns as well as wedding gowns, our specialty, receive the individual attention they require.

Thank you!

There is a personal story: Ms. Sanchez, an accountant, left a corporate job to take over Society Cleaners. She took the time to become a certified yoga instructor and therapist studying with internationally recognized masters. 

An art collector, she is a regular visitor to the Norton Museum in Palm Beach during the season, the Dali and Museum of Fine Arts, Saint Petersburg. In New York, the Metropolitan and MoMA have always been priorities. In 2024, she took a special tour of the pre-Romanesque architecture in Northern Spain.

With an eclectic ear for music, she loves the jazz giants Sarah Vaughan, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Satchmo, and composer and lyricist Cole Porter.

From Thailand to Bali to remote villages in Spain and Italy, Ms. Sanchez has a wanderlust that nourishes her knowledge of fabrics, couture and folk attire as cultural expressions.

Society Cleaners and Paris Fashion Week

Society and Paris Fashion Week 

Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode

Our fashionista clients have returned from the Paris Fashion Week bringing stories and giving @SocietyCleaners ideas of what to expect for spring. The story everyone talks about is Jared Letto starring in a movie about Karl Lagerfeld. Spain is proud having singer Rosalía as the face of Acne Studios.

The T-shirt reading “White Lives Matter” with a picture of Pope John Paul II on one side and a sign “seguiremos tu ejemplo” on the other proved controversial.

For us in fabric care, we can expect “spectacle” in gowns with sequin, brocade, and beading. lots of glitter "What I found," tells us a friend and client, is this "androgynous look." There was a preference for suiting in informal wear.  Garments, that exhibit or highlight the model-type physique are in the words of one of our clients “miniscule; I could not wear that to a cocktail party.”

@SocietyCleaners has always been proud to support our fashionistas but, please, don't bring Bella Hadid spray-on dress.
